I had a great oral surgeon who spent a lot of time with me. He was not able to figure out what I had (and was the second doctor who said I did not have cancer), but he did send me to an ENT who was able to diagnose me.

If you feel uncomfortable with your doctor and don't think he was professional enough for you, go ahead and make an appointment with a good ENT in your area. You are your own best advocate and doctors are not gods.

A second opinion should help you get some peace of mind. Looks like you still have some misgivings. Having said that, it appears that you got good news today. Let�s hope that continues with a second opinion.
